Autumn walks in the Midlands

We're firm believers that autumn is one of the best times of year for walking here in the midlands. The trees burst into colour in a final farewell before winter sets in and the novelty of wrapping up in our winter woollies hasn't quite worn off yet! Find some of the best autumn walks near you.

Ilam Park to the Stepping Stones in Dovedale

Discover the limestone countryside of the southern Peak District, famed for its wildlife and geology on an easy walk to Dovedale valley. On the River Dove you might spot ducks, dippers, heron or brown trout.

A walk through the parkland at Charlecote near Stratford-upon-Avon

Take a stroll in the park with lovely views of the house in its riverside setting. This easy walk will take you up to an hour, depending on how often you stop to enjoy the scenery. The grounds are open from 9am to 6pm every day.

We simply wouldn't be able to look after our special places without them. From conservation volunteers, gardening, telling stories or helping in the offices everyone plays a vital role. Of course we are always looking for new volunteers to join our team.
